8. Review Application Dismissed

Two papers were moved before me.  One is an application for condonation of delay in the submission of the review application and another is stated to be an application for review of my Judgment dated 17th May, 1985, but which is actually a memorandum of review.  By the said Judgment I have dismissed the Writ petition directed against Koran in limine.  Thereafter these two �applications� have been filed.

So far as the condonation of delay is concerned, the time for making an application for review is 30 days.  There is only one day's delay.  It might be felt that only one day's delay may be condoned but the condonation of delay is not a matter of course.  The petitioner must give proper explanation of even one day's delay.  In this case in the petition the delay is sought to be explained by making the following averments:

�That the applicant got hurt in the palm of his right hand on 13th June, 1985, got a stitch and a bandage and was advised not to move his right hand for some days.  A medical certificate is enclosed marked as annexure �A�.�

The said annexure �A� reads as follows:

�Shree Vishudhanand Hospital & Research Institute.

General Outdoor Deptt. (EMERGENCY)

This is to certify that Sri Chandmal Chopra aged 53 yrs. had got injured on 15-6-85 on the right little finger.  One stitch and bandage was done on 16.6.85. He is advised to take rest for 4 days from that very day.
